- The pendulum swings all the way over into the realm of apathetic stupor and then it can often just stop swinging altogether because perhaps the most dangerous part of apathy is that one of its side effects is not caring much about its side effects.
鐘擺一直襬到冷漠昏迷的境界，然後往往就完全停止擺動了，因為冷漠最危險的部分也許就是它的副作用之一，就是對它的副作用不屑一顧。

長年上不了榜的美國終於蓋了一座「最美」機場！ (America Has Finally Built a Beautiful Airport)
- What it's supported on is Y columns, so the columns come up and on the top of each Y is a base isolator, it's a friction pendulum isolator, and so that has been engineered to take the mass at each location, and so at the edges you might have a different size friction pendulum, in the middle you have another size, and those move and it's calculated that the amount of friction force that is taken at each location allows it to move exactly how much it needs to move, and the friction part is what holds it into place.
支撐它的是 Y 型立柱，所以立柱是向上的，每個 Y 型立柱的頂端都有一個底座隔離器，它是一個摩擦擺隔離器，所以它的設計可以承受每個位置的品質，所以在邊緣你可能會有一個不同尺寸的摩擦擺，在中間你會有另一個尺寸的摩擦擺，這些都是可以移動的，經過計算，在每個位置承受的摩擦力可以讓它準確地移動到需要移動的位置，而摩擦部分就是將它固定到位的東西。
- It's a friction pendulum isolator.
但無論發生什麼，它都是美麗的。

小時候在田裡抓青蛙的童年回憶你還記得嗎！為什麼現在的小孩都不再去戶外活動了？ (Why Kids Never Go Outside Anymore)
- As they grow up, they're bombarded with the fact that their lives probably won't be as good as their parents. They probably won't be able to afford a house. They will have a much harder time building a family or even finding people to connect with. The social contract that previous generations bought into has disappeared. It's easy to treat the mental health problems that we see today as their own isolated issue, but in many ways, they're the natural response to what kids are facing. At this point, it might feel a little bit hopeless, but the light at the end of the tunnel is that we're all catching on to these mistakes. We're slowly realising that you don't need to make your kids terrified of strangers. It took decades for people to finally question that absurd narrative. People are waking up to the dangers of social media, the lack of free play in kids, and how addictive and destructive it is to keep kids isolated in a safe little box in their room, staring at a screen endlessly for hours every single day. I mean, how many young people today, how many of your friends that you know, would actually let their children become heavy technology users? Even with cars, despite how embedded they've become, the pendulum is slowly swinging the other way. Young people who've travelled and experienced life in cities that aren't dominated by them know the difference that it can make. We're not going to instantly solve the many challenges that young people face because of the mistakes of the past, but before too long, the generation that grew up with these problems and actually understands them will be in the driving seat, and hopefully, by some miracle, they'll be able to actually fix them and know the value of making their kids' lives better than their own.
在他們長大成人的過程中，他們會被這樣一個事實轟炸：他們的生活可能不會像他們的父母那樣好。他們可能買不起房子。他們將更難建立家庭，甚至找不到可以聯繫的人。上一代人所信奉的社會契約已經不復存在。我們很容易把今天所看到的心理健康問題看作是一個孤立的問題，但在很多方面，它們是孩子們所面臨的問題的自然反應。此時此刻，我們可能會覺得有點絕望，但隧道盡頭的曙光是，我們都在逐漸認識到這些錯誤。我們慢慢意識到，沒必要讓孩子們害怕陌生人。人們花了幾十年時間才最終質疑這種荒謬的說法。人們開始意識到社交媒體的危害，孩子們缺乏自由

- Now because I'm in this lower position you will notice that I do have to kind of break at the waist and bend over at the waist somewhat but even with holding that position I am still able to maintain my line because I just rock my whole sort of unit like a pendulum over the top of the board to help me make the edge change.
現在，由於我的位置較低，你會注意到我的腰部確實需要折一下，腰部需要彎一下，但即使保持這樣的姿勢，我仍然能夠保持我的線路，因為我只是把我的整個裝置像鐘擺一樣在木板頂端搖晃，幫助我進行邊緣變化。
- but even with holding that position, I am still able to maintain my line because I just rock my body as a whole sort of unit, like a pendulum, over the top of the board to help me make the edge change.
